Love Island bosses have reportedly signed a second celebrity bombshell to enter the villa, with dancer Abbie Quinnen reportedly due to join the show just days on from Joey Essex's bombshell reveal. Abbie, 27, was in a relationship with actor and Strictly Come Dancing star AJ Pritchard for four years, before the couple split in 2022. She already has the lowdown on how Love Island works after AJ's brother Curtis came fourth in the 2019 series of the reality dating show.
Abbie, who recently described her relationship with AJ, 29, as "traumatising", after it abruptly ended following cheating allegation while she was still recovering from burns inflicted during a TikTok dance gone wrong. Abbie wants a "fresh chance" at finding love after her last relationship ended. A source told The Sun: "Joey went in as the first big bombshell and Abbie is waiting in the wings for the call up.
She has been in talks with Love Island for weeks over being a bombshell and has said she can’t wait to dive in and mix things up. When she was with AJ she found out a lot about Love Island through Curtis so she knows what is in store for her." Taking questions from her Instagram followers back in February, Abbie opened up about her love life, after one fan asked how it had been going.
Abbie replied: "Not the greatest not going to lie I was pretty traumatised after my last relationship. Find it hard to trust people! And I tend to go for all the red flags so need someone to find someone for me. I don't tru.
